about maidbot

Rosie the world’s first housekeeping robot

Inspired by Rosie the Robot, Rosie cleans floors of small and large spaces in hotels, airports, malls. universities, and more. While cleaning, Rosie also functions as an indoor mobile data platform that collects and analyzes invaluable actionable business data.

By using Maidbot‘s systems, hotel operators will see an increase in profitability; healthier and happier staff; and higher guest satisfaction. In addition, room attendants will be able to focus on less strenuous tasks – ultimately reducing injury rates. Finally, guests will have a more enjoyable experience through consistent cleanliness and more flexible check-in and check-out times.

Given the size and scale of the hospitality market, a lack of innovation in the field, and the potential to improve the health and safety of room attendants; Maidbot transforms the industry by leveraging the power of robotics.
